My neighbors cruise a lot out of Miami. They recommend the Hilton Garden Inn at the port because you can park your car there, & they'll shuttle you to & from the ship. The cost of the hotel is about the same as the cost of parking your car. I guess this is only relevant for those of us who drive....

On Hilton.com there is no Hilton Garden Inn by Port of Miami, there is one at FT Lauderdale however There is a double tree by Hilton near the port. Perhaps that is where they meant?

We stayed at the Hilton Garden in Fort Lauderdale last year after the cruise. It's scheduled to be demolished soon due to airport expansion. Rooms were dirt cheap. They've let the place fall apart since its coming down.

i think you might be talking about the Holiday Inn Port of Miami.

i dont know the parking situation, but i know it is the closest hotel to the ship

It's right by the airport, includes free shuttle from airport to hotel, and with the "travel package" or "cruise package" I purchased, also includes shuttle from hotel to Port for two and hot breakfast for two...king sized bed suite was like $235 after taxes...

Flying in from Ptown, OR we always get there fairly late, so just want a nice clean place close to airport to lay my weary head as will save my ragin' for das boat.

And my excitement level just bumped up a notch or two....

Just the flight left to do, then I will be fully locked and loaded...oh yes!

I ended up booking TWO hotels. The precruise hotel is a cheapo in South Beach (to allow for food, beach, fun, a quick ride to the port, and a close-by bed). The postcruise hotel is a nicer cheapo near the airport (with free breakfast and a free airport shuttle). It's for comfortable hardcore sleeping!

Found a room at the Courtyard Marriot downtown at hotelsclick.comYes it's the official hotel. I was looking at reviews on Trip adviser and saw that. Got it for one night 1/3/14 for $178.25, for some reason which hotelsclick can not tell me I was actually charged 180.03. I called the hotel to double check that I am in their system and I am!I was a bit concerned as hotelsclick is out of Italy but all (except for that $1.78 difference) seems to be setI checked today and there are still rooms available at that price, make sure to choosee USD for your payment at check out and I'd be curious if others wand up getting charged 180.03 instead of 178.25

It could be your bank/credit card company's 1% fee for currency exchange. I've had that happen many times when traveling abroad. Just a thought
